temp difference on wrist

[SDS]

Has anyone studied a predictable temperature disparity between the temp measured while wearing the X6HR on your wrist versus the temperature recorded while the device is off your wrist --the manual clearly advises to take the watch off for 15 minutes to get an accurate temp reading, but I'm wondering if there is a short-cut to curtail the need to actually remove the watch from one's wrist. Thanks for any insights.

	Suunto X6 HR - Click for more info Just when you thought a sports watch couldn't get any better, Suunto introduces the X6 HR, X6 HRM and X6-HRT. These are truly the next generation in sports watches, packed with all of the technology that Suunto enthusiasts have been craving. Designed for Cross Sports applications, the X6 writstops are functionally very similar to the Suunto X6 - but with the added benefits of a heart rate monitor.

From my limited experience playing with the thermometer on my unit, I question wheather or not the stated 15 minutes is enough for an accurate reading. I took mine off for about 20 minutes the other day when I was outside on a very cool and overcast day. The actual temperature was 41F, the watch didn't get below 57F.
